Chitown Storm Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 half-dollars falling from the sky.Strangely, the wind has really let up at the same time. It's a beautiful thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Snow starting to pick up a bit here. Big heavy flakes falling right now. No real wind yet, but the rate of snow fall is increasing as I sit and watch it from my home office. (At least, I can watch the weather while I work) Down to 31 degrees locally since my last post. Winds are E @ 12 right now. I also work from home, and compound that with a snowstorm and my day is shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimillman Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Really fat flakes and pinging. Have had just about every p-type imaginable this morning. And I think a sea monster just emerged from Lake Michigan. Too bad the inland folks won't get to see the sea monster. Shoulda moved lakeside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCoaster Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 If only it were a little colder. We still have another ~8 hours before precip arrives. Stop your whinin' How low did you bust for the early Feb event? You should have learned to believe in the models. 49 cm is a lock at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Perry Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Local mets around here already calling this a "Bust"... and I agree.It's going to be very hard to change this rain to heavy snow and still accumulate to 6" yet this afternoon. I Just don't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 What does the 12z Euro paint? I dont have the raw data. Buttonville sitting at 3.4C. I think the 0z EURO text extraction had YYZ at 2.2c just before the pcpn started. If we cool a bit the rest of the afternoon that might be smack on.

If we cool a bit the rest of the afternoon that might be smack on. Hmm, hopefully somebody can post the text qpf from the 12z Euro, thanks. East winds seem to be picking up. If it was around -5C atleast, would have been decent LES right now haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
